Kiyo works at the Maiko House as the live-in cook. She sees her childhood friend Sumire in town one day, accompanying older maiko. Back at the House kitchen, Sumire tells Kiyo how hard she is working towards her goal of becoming one, too. Sumire is overjoyed to learn that she will debut as a maiko later that evening. She runs straight to Kiyo to share her news, but what will she think?
I couldn’t believe the Maiko House cook
was a 16-year-old!
!لم أصدّق أنّ طبّاخة بيت المايكو في 16 من العمر
Wer hätte auch gedacht, dass die Köchin
des Maiko-Hauses erst 16 Jahre alt ist.
No imaginé que una chica de 16 años
No esperaba que una chica de 16 años
Je ne pensais pas qu’à 16 ans
Non potevo proprio credere che la cuoca
 della Maiko House avesse solo sedici anni!
Eu não imaginava que uma garota de 16 anos
estaria cozinhando numa casa de maikos!
Кто мог подумать, что шестнадцатилетняя девочка
работает поварихой в доме майко!
